Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Crawford was a full-time starter in 2024 and took every turn, leading Boston in innings (183.2), starts (33), strikeouts (175) and WHIP (1.12). His 4.36 ERA (4.35 xFIP) represented a regression as did his strikeout percentage (23.1 percent) and hard-hit rate (36.3). That may have been due to a career-high workload for the 28-year-old right-hander, whose previous high was 129.1 innings. He admitted the workload was a challenge to stay effective and be consistent over the long haul. To that end, his 2024 workload sets him up to be stronger in 2025. Another area where Crawford needs to improve is the long ball; he led MLB with 34 home runs allowed, which can happen when a pitcher lives in the zone. Locating better in 2025 will be his focus. It's unclear where Crawford slots in the rotation; the Red Sox have a bevy of starters and the addition of Garrett Crochet and Walker Buehler could push Crawford to the back end or the bullpen.

Signed a one-year, $2.75 million contract with the Red Sox in January of 2025.
Needs season-ending wrist surgery
Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Wednesday that Crawford will undergo right wrist surgery that will "most likely" keep the pitcher out for the remainder of the season, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.
Analysis
Crawford began the season on the injured list with a right knee injury that first cropped up over the winter. However, it's Crawford's wrist that's been the bigger issue over the last few weeks, and the decision has been made to have surgery. The specific nature of the operation isn't clear, but the team should have more details on Crawford's status after surgery.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Crawford was one of the bright spots amidst a rocky season for the Red Sox' starting pitchers. It took until June for the right-hander to find a permanent spot in the rotation, but once that happened he posted a 4.20 ERA (3.64 FIP), 1.15 WHIP and 105:30 K:BB over 98.2 innings covering 21 starts the rest of the way. Crawford has one of the most effective four-seamers in baseball, an offering with elite spin which produced a 26 percent whiff rate. The 27-year-old's arsenal is also deep, with five additional pitches which all induced whiffs at at least a 20 percent rate. Crawford is a flyball pitcher who can be homer-prone at times, but he should have a spot in Boston's rotation locked up heading into 2024 and his arrow is pointing up.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Not expected to return this season
Crawford will undergo surgery on his right wrist and is "most likely" done for the rest of the 2025 season, according to Tim Healey of The Boston Globe.
Analysis
Crawford is already on the 60-day injured list and is expected to stay there for the remainder of the season. Even though the 2025 campaign will end up being a lost year for Crawford, he has been a solid rotation arm for the Red Sox in recent years. He tossed 390.1 innings with a 4.47 ERA between 2022 and 2024, and he should have the chance to earn a rotation spot in spring training next year.
